For motorbikes I only know of 2 models that are M+S. The TKC mentioned above and a M+S version of the Heidenau K60, called the K60 Snowtex.

Unless you are driving through snow the K60 will probably get you better grip on the road. If only for the larger amount of rubber contact.
Metzeler Karoo/Karoo(T) have also the M+S sign. The Heidenau K60 Scout has it too. The K60 Snowtex is a real motobike winter tyre with a special rubber mixture suitable for cold weather.
